This (These) sentence(s) need reformulation

<<One of the pups, a female, was designated 2202 as it was fitted with a tracking collar in February 2022. The wolf was designated using the first 2 digits to indicate the year. The second 2 digits will be assigned sequentially with an odd number for males and an even number for females.>>

I suggest this formulation :

<<One of the pups, a female, was fitted with a tracking collar in February 2022. The wolf was designated as F2202 using the first 2 digits to indicate the year and the next 2 digits will be assigned sequentially with an odd number for males and an even number for females>>

I'm guessing that if another female would have been collared in 2022, her designation would be F2204. The reformulation here is quite big, but it removes the duplicate "was designated part" and removes the confusion that could be attributed to : "was designated as XXX because she was fitted at XX date". It's not quite right.

Does it make sense ? Tagging you @Fettlemap - Gimly24 (talk) 17:10, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

• Yes with this change to avoid future tense "will"

<The wolf was designated as F2202 using the first 2 digits to indicate the year and the sequentially assigned next 2 digits that have an odd number for males and an even number for females>>
